Bjarke Ruse Sejersen, Founder and CEO of Go Autonomous, commented: “We’re excited to accelerate our product adoption in Europe and the UK, and begin laying the groundwork for our expansion into the USA, thereby further reinforcing our commitment to revolutionizing the landscape of B2B commerce software.”
The majority of businesses in the B2B sector rely significantly on email as their main transactional channel, which contributes significantly to their revenue.
Understanding the importance of email in business-to-business transactions, Go Autonomous has created a cutting-edge AI-driven software as a service (SaaS) solution that can recognize the purpose of emails that arrive in an inbox, extract and organize the required data, and instantly integrate it with enterprise systems to facilitate end-to-end automation of quotes and orders.

Customer care agents have shown that using this solution may save them about 30% of time, freeing them up to concentrate on value-added duties like cross-selling and upselling. In addition, the system gives customers access to analytical information directly from their email inbox, which they can utilize for forecasting and planning.
Conor Scanlan at Octopus Ventures, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Go Autonomous in accelerating their presence in the UK market. At Octopus Ventures, we are committed to investing in the businesses that will change the world. “Go Autonomous is addressing a critical challenge in B2B digital commerce, and we believe their platform has the potential to transform how businesses operate.”
Akriti Dokania at Ridge Ventures added: “The automation software market has historically been dominated by horizontal players that are bulky and high-friction. Go Autonomous’ AI-powered commerce solution flips the script by offering a seamless, efficient, and scalable alternative that prioritizes the most critical workflows in B2B sales: purchase orders. Gone are the days of manually scanning emails for invoice details and inputting them into an ERP. Bjarke and his team, who’ve previously helped automate complex workflows in legacy industries, are turbocharging manufacturing, aviation, and other sectors hampered by lethargic B2B sales processes.”
